Album_Hunters Dissonant Black Metal?! its like if Haunter had a baby with Imperium Dekadenz. Niche stuff (even for metal) but I thoroughly enjoyed it! CD? Worth it!

Raymond A. K. Egge The music is like nothing Ive ever heard before. Fresh and exhilerating. Favorite track: Rotted Wooden Castles.

AlexisD Metal has often tried to incorporate elements of classical music. I never liked symphonic genres personally, but here the approach is reversed. The compositions are closer to classical music at heart than metal, leading to a truly unique sound, that doesn't sound forced or pretentious.

Jody B. I'm a big fan of Ryan Clackner and all his various projects (Primeval Well, Vile Haint, Arcane Marrow, Crestfallen Dusk, etc.) and he never ceases to amaze me. This amalgamation of black metal, orchestral music and Russian neoclassical influences inspired by composer Igor Stravinsky is probably his best work to date. Experimental, progressive, avant-garde...an incredible listening experience. Favorite track: Rotted Wooden Castles.

about

All references to American music have been removed in favor of a focus on Igor Stravinsky, in particular his Russian period. Orchestral + compositional concepts/arrangements take the place of American folk or jazz/free jazz influences. Lyrics cover czarism/ Russian Revolution, the tundra, Siberian prisons, and Rasputin, among other things. Special thanks to I,Voidhanger.
